BACK HOME
Zach's finally eighteen. I mean, uh, Zach is eighteen. "Finally" makes it sound like something somebody creepy would say. I just feel like he's earned it, he's a very responsible young man. Veronica cracks a joke about the draft that hits Alicia in exactly the perfect wrong way you'd imagine, and follows it up with "But you can buy porn!"
In the kitchen, Owen and Alicia talk about how Veronica really enjoys the kids and that's why she's always around now.
Alicia: "I've been trying to get her to come see them for ten years and now it's like..."
Owen: "We were raised by the woman, we both know she hates babies. Hey, how's Peter? Speaking of giant babies."
Alicia: "Yeah, what the hell was that? You guys had a meeting or something?"
Owen: "First of all, you need to sink Kresteva with women on Charlie Rose. And second of all, I think I love your husband."
Alicia: "Oh shit, did he ask you for something?"
Owen: "I know, right? What is that?"
Veronica comes in and does some weird business with hand puppets; it's cute.
Veronica: "So I'm just gonna give Zach some wine real quick..."
Alicia: "Hold up, what?"
Veronica: "Come on, I let you drink wine at sixteen..."
St. Alicia: "And I have never forgiven you."
There's a funny Nora Ephron kind of moment where Veronica points out that in countries with no drinking age, there's no public drunkenness, which Alicia says is made up but Owen counters with the even better "Yeah, and in Muslim countries there's no public drunkenness too," which is just a cute conversation I've never heard on TV before but sounds like every conversation of real life. It's nice. And then it gets not nice, once Alicia pours herself a Big Carl amount of wine and glugs it.
Veronica: "What's that about?"
Owen: "Oh, well see, Peter asked her to renew their vows..."
Alicia: "Jesus CHRIST, Owen. Seriously? That's gotta be a record, even for you."
Veronica: "He just wants to tie you down and clip your wings and..."
Owen: "No, I've flipped on Peter. I love him now."
Veronica: "What the hell? When did this happen?"
Alicia has absented herself, by the way, entirely from the conversation. Like physically backed out of it, scowling.
Owen: "I talked to him, and I think he's grown a lot."
